What you’ll do

1

When you arrive

On arrival, you’ll be signed in and introduced to the smith who will talk through the course step-by-step and guide you to making your very own Poppy.  

2

Firing up the forge

The forge will have been lit and heating up before you arrive, so it’s ready to go! You will get an introduction on how to control and maintain the fire of the forge to a forging heat.

3

Forging Time

Forging isn’t as easy as it may look! Our expert team will work with you and guide you through each stage of making your own poppy.  You’ll be given the flexibility to stamp your own design on your piece, making it totally unique to you!

Photo Time

It’s great fun working alongside one another and crafting something unique! Once the forging is complete, it’s time to pose for those all-important photos at our wooden stage!
